Animal Anthology

Some of you might be off enjoying writing time while it snows outside and for me it gives me a chance to catch up! We have selected 19 stories for the Born Free Animal Anthology, these are currently being approved by Born Free to ensure they adhere to the Born Free message, as soon as we have the list approved the lucky authors will be notified.

One of these authors is of course Richard Adams who has sent me the first draft of his new story and I am looking forward to seeing the finished story very soon!

We are also planning a big summer launch (details soon to be finalised) and I have set up a new BLOG for this very special book...



So we look forward to a new year and to continued publishing success.

Gill has also informed the lucky authors who have been accepted for the Travel Anthology and is in the process of sending out the edits...

There is still another month left for those still wanting to submit to the Debut Novel Competition.

I have also set up a TWITTER account for those that want to follow us there...



All the best,

Debz :)

Bridge House Short Story Competition 2009

At last I can share with you the information about the winners of the first Bridge House Short Story Competition. The standard was high and it was hard to choose the winners- but they are all worthy. We decided that all three places will have their stories published in future anthologies.

The stories are:

First Place Sandra Morgan Dancing To Lili Marlene

Second Place Susan Stern I Never Wear Black

Third Place Carol Croxton When Angels Weep

Find out more about the authors and read extracts of these stories here on the Bridge House Blog...

Apologies for the lack of posts- we are all really busy trying to get the Christmas books out in time!
Delays beyond our control have given us rather a lot to do and this cuts down in marketing time, so we hope all of our authors are doing their part to push the books!

Spooked is out and available to order through the Bridge House Website. Scream should be out any day. All is not lost as we can relaunch these for Halloween next year. As for the Children's Advent and 12 Days- these will make in time for Christmas- just! So again we may have a relaunch next year.

These things happen, especially as we all have other jobs as well!!! But we are working like mad to make this happen so we thank everyone for their support!

Check out the website this week when we have offers on books for Christmas- free postage on older titles... so please add books to your Christmas lists!
